We have an exciting opportunity for you to join us to work at HMP Prisons as part of the multidisciplinary team that offers Mental Health and Wellbeing Services to the population of HMP Norwich, HMP Bure, and HMP Wayland. A very warm welcome awaits you!
We are looking to recruit a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner to join our team. We welcome interest from those who hold the relevant qualification and are looking for a new challenge in this unique environment.
Qualified applicants will hold a Post Graduate Certificate in Low Intensity Psychological Therapies.
If you want a role where you can develop your existing skills and learn something new every day in an environment that never stands still, then this is definitely the job for you! Prisons are one of the most challenging yet extremely rewarding places for healthcare professionals to work.
You will work as part of a diverse and supportive team of Psychological Therapists, PWPs, nurses, psychologists, and psychiatrists. We are able to offer our team members the opportunity to continue to develop their expertise via training and development opportunities in different parts of our service.
Unfortunately, at this time we are unable to offer a trainee position.
What makes us different?
Our wider service uses an integrated model which begins at initial detention, continues throughout time in custody, and through the gate into the wider community. We have found this model really successful and makes our working collaborative, achieving positive outcomes for the prisoners and helping to reduce reoffending.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to join the team and help us build, shape, and grow our service further. We want to hear your ideas.
The role will be based across the 3 prisons.
Our trust values are Safer, Kinder, Better, and we want someone to join the team who lives and breathes these values.
If you have not worked in this setting, we encourage you to contact us before applying so we can arrange an informal visit and allow you to experience the realities of the role. It’s also a great opportunity to meet our team.
